Jamie XX - In Colour // Limited Edition Colored Vinyl 3xLP

UPDATE – Young Turks is labeling this as a deluxe edition, which may not be limited. ¬†We’ve contacted them about pressing numbers and will report back when we’ve got a response.

In 2009, The XX reshaped pop music. ¬†Fact. ¬†Their sparse, lusty self-titled debut became an immediate classic, affecting the musical landscape from Blur to Shakira.¬† Similar to Young Marble Giants, The XX proved yet again¬†that¬†“a little goes a long way”. ¬†Their sophomore release Coexist, while a bit more polished, followed the same path of melancholy minimalism, and for the next 3 years…it’s been fairly quiet from the band.

Jamie XX is here to appease¬†your hunger and to elongate your tranquility. ¬†His recent single Gosh displayed his knack for making mountains out of the micro, coating a basic drum loop with glimmering drones and synth swoons. ¬†It’s been on repeat in my house since it dropped.

If $37 seems a bit steep, there’s a regular version for you…but trust me, the limited version won’t be around for long.

On occasion, David can be seen crate-digging various Austin record stores in hopes of finding an original vinyl pressing of some obscure post-punk band. In 1986, David experienced his first heartbreak when the Houston Astros blew the National League Championship Series to the New York Mets. Austin has been his home since he was born, not because of his unwillingness to explore new terrain, but because it is the finest town a hopeless music lover and taco enthusiast could ever imagine.

it says 'limited edition'. i don't claim to know how or when it will sell out, but basic supply and demand business practices tell me that 1) the xx has a huge following, and 2) they didn't make enough to go around. saying i'm being misleading is a stretch.

FYI: 'this wont be around for long' is the comment im referring too - its a presale until May - do you have information that's not available to the rest of us?
Sorry to question the post but i suspect too many of us buy these ltd versions to realise this limited version is really a deluxe that'll be in shops worldwide - despite my doubts the record sounds amazing from the 2 or 3 tracks i've heard!

hey, i dont mean to be funny about it, check out the distribution by Young Turks, the label of Jamie xx, its deluxe, you guys are incredible at finding ltd pressings i would never wante to question the amazing job you do, i was just checking on info and to inform people that from the info ive seen its a deluxe and not ltd. though in saying that the popularity of this artist/artists this could be incredibly popular (it looks amazing) and so possibly more ltd than expected. Apologies for any confusion regarding this. I guess the record companies state ltd. to get us all going (it worked with me!) until i looked deeper into it. much love
